“The only strategy we have found effective is to find ways to work faster. In two cases this year, both I and outside attorneys worked around the clock and through weekends for weeks on end. That's where FlashSoft can really help accelerate cases and help control costs for the thousands of companies who do eDiscovery today. And there's also something to be said for the value of sleep.”
Senior Manager, RIM & eDiscovery, SanDisk
“I wasn’t forced to upgrade my storage which would have been an expensive undertaking.”
Randy Cottingham , Network Services Manager, Crane Merchandising
“FlashSoft has provided immediate benefits to Cloud Plus, but the real value is that I can now think more strategically about cost-effectively solving performance demands throughout the infrastructure.”
Jules Rumsey, CEO, Cloud Plus, Inc.
“FlashSoft is an incremental addition to my existing infrastructure that helps me separate I/O performance management from storage capacity. And because it delivers sustainable performance for my most critical applications, it gives me the confidence to build out additional infrastructure based on a FlashSoft performance model.”
Ethan Erchinger, VP Operations and Solution Architecture, Plaxo, a Comcast Silicon Valley Innovation Center
“The implementation of FlashSoft for Windows was so easy and it didn’t require that I change any of my existing data management or data protection policies. For such an unobtrusive piece of software, it sure makes a big difference.”
Christopher Williams, Head of IT Support, Middle Tennessee Ear, Nose, Throat Clinic
“The difference is night and day… The end users are not seeing the slowdowns that they once did.”
Christopher Williams, Head of IT Support, Middle Tennessee Ear, Nose, Throat Clinic
“They (end users) say, 'I don’t know what you did, but… you’re the man!’”
Rich Kocielko, Sr. VMware Administrator, Storage and Backup, Lippert Components, Inc
